Book two,&nbsp;The Directory, has profiles of fifty partners, past and present, accompanied by extensive coverage of their work.

A follow-up to two highly successful monographs on the work of one of the most important designers of his generation, showcasing projects completed since the mid-1990s. 
Neville Brody defined the look of the 1980s music scene as art director of The Face. Since then, Brody consistently proved that he is one of most innovative and shape-shifting graphic designers of the era. While his second monograph was published in 1994, over the last almost three decades Brody has produced a new body of editorial, typographic, information, and interface design of unparalleled boldness and sophistication for global clients that include Samsung, Shiseido, Coca-Cola, the UK’s Channel 4, and Dom Perignon. 
The Graphic Language of Neville Brody 3 brings this work together in thematic sections that address the key fields of his vibrant design projects, including typographic experimentation, information graphics, cultural subversion, and design systems. Richly illustrated, each project is explored in detail, revealing the work that defined Brody’s recent career across six chapters, from major brands to magazine editorials and features, showing how his design language has evolved since the 1990s. 
Creating a new generation of fans, this volume shares Brody’s design genius at a time when the originality of work from the 1980s and 1990s across many creative disciplines is finding a new audience. This inspirational volume is essential reading for anyone interested in the evolution of graphic design over the past three decades. 1,300+ illustrations

Sampler 2 is far more than just a remix. Like its predecessors, it captures and celebrates some of the most innovative and challenging graphic design work from the contemporary music scene, yet offers an even more penetrating and comprehensive examination of radical music packaging. Traditionally occupying the margins of graphic design practice, the record cover is increasingly recognized as a testing ground for innovative visual expression, inspired by, and amplifying our enjoyment of, the music itself. Sampler 2 features the best graphics from cutting edge designers who boldly reject the notion of the record sleeve as ephemeral packaging in favor of creating memorable works of art. The book includes work by leading graphic designers such as Stefan Sagmeister, Designers Republic, Farrow Design, Peter Saville, and Rudy Vanderlands, as well as showcasing some of the most groundbreaking designs for small underground labels from around the world. In an introductory essay, Intro co-founder and Creative Director Adrian Shaughnessy identifies and evaluates recent trends in music graphics, examining the position of small labels in relation to the commercial imperatives of large, monolithic record companies. He explores the idea of 'authenticity', revealing how sleeve designers are departing from mainstream imagery and digital technology, in a return to the 'real'. Issues also addressed include the convergence of graphic design and contemporary art practice, and the role of the musician in the sleeve design process. Sampler 2 is an inspirational resource for graphic designers and those working in visual communication, as well as appealing to anyone within the record industry and to music fans worldwide.

Edition limited to 2000 Four years in the making. Letraset: The DIY Typography Revolution is the first comprehensive history of Letraset, the rubdown lettering system that revolutionised typographic expression. The book tells the Letraset story from its early days as a difficult-to-use wet system, to its glory years as the first truly democratic alternative to professional typesetting. The book also looks at Letraset’s present-day revival amongst a new set of admirers who recognise the typographic excellence of the system’s typefaces. The book comes with a gatefold Letraset timeline. It has an introduction by Malcolm Garrett, and features in-depth interviews with Mr Bingo, Erik Brandt, Aaron Marcus, David Quay, Dan Rhatigan, Freda Sack, Andy Stevens and Jon Wozencroft. Essays by Colin Brignall, Dave Farey and Mike Daines – all key members of the Letraset team – provide expert insight into the rise of Letraset as a typographic and commercial powerhouse. A central essay by Adrian Shaughnessy examines the typographic and cultural impact of the system. The book’s design is by the Spin team of Tony Brook and Claudia Klat. It uses many rare specimens from Letraset’s past – catalogues, press ads, mailers, storage units, and of course, sheets of classic Letraset typefaces. Specifications Size: 220×320 mm Pages: 312 Print: Four colour litho Cover: Four colour litho plus Pantone Special features: Gatefold Letraset timeline
